Usually if I haven't eaten, I can go out, have a few pints and be fine and then it'll be like flicking a switch from tipsy to totally wasted and I won't remember anything after. I've fallen off a chair mid coversation before! Not a good look :lol:


Yeah, loads of sleep, loads of food including a fair bit of bread which would normally do well to absorb booze, I have no idea what happened inside my head. Also thanks Ania, yeah I'd said earlier that day I didn't want to go out drinking but caved to people pestering me which is my own fault really.

You and me both, bruddah.

I see your summer, and raise you the rest of my life.
Last deadline is this coming Friday and then that's it.

Seriously guys - enjoy a summer holiday while you still have them. When real life starts, they don't happen any more. Unless you become a teacher.

Overpriced, poor-quality drinks?

Playlists that have been going downhill since the early 90s?

Sticky floor?

I've decided most such nights are shit. The only ones I can be arsed with are 80s nostalgia or being able to choose your own shit at your favourite small 'rock' bar.

I used to be able to pretend to like shit rock/metal when I was drunk but now I can't.

The worst has to be the Agincourt in Camberley. Same shit music (give or take a few fashionable emo songs), same idiots, or same kind of idiots at least.

To be honest there were inevitably gonna be a few memories of the place, the 3.5 mile solitary stumbles home and seeing friends making out with ladyboys. Brother tells me one time he'd taken loadsa pills and shat himself so ran to the loos, wreaked havoc and had to discard his boxers by stuffing them behind the cistern :lol: Played my first gig there as well, my band's thing was gore/corpsepaint and I'd sheepishly done like one dollop of fake blood, which with my short hair made me look more like a mime.

Sorta shit you do when it's one of only three rock type venues in the area.

Here's a useless fact, Brian Blessed lives just up the road in Bagshot and drives a Peugeot.

It used to be way cheaper than that too. But to be fair, this year's line-up is easily the strongest it's ever been. And it's still miles cheaper than most other UK open air festivals.

Actually, he's got a point. This year (bar 2/3 of the headliners) is actually pretty good!

There's 4 bands I want to see playing, which is more than any previous line-up. And 4 times as many as last year :lol:

There are some cracking bands on this year, there are also some shocking ones. Having said that it's half of the price and has more bands I want to see than any other UK festival I've seen, so it's all good :yes:
